The form also covers freight and 3PL, distribution, manufacturing, insurance, finance, law, professional services and an Other option. Each keeps years of email, files and tool history.
Policyholder data and customer account data stay out for insurers and financial firms. For law firms, scope is decided with you and your counsel, and client data stays out. We give no legal advice.
Questions each sector page answers
- Which records count. Day to day files and threads that show how that kind of business gets its work done.
- The first worry. The concern owners in that sector raise before anything else, and how it is handled.
- What you can hold back. Beyond the universal rules, the particular things you may keep out.
Does sector change the number?
Two answers drive your range: team size and years in business. Sector is question three in the form. It gives License Your Data context before the call and never changes the estimate.
Across all sectors the value looks alike: several years of a team working in the same tools and writing down real work as it happened.
Read the closest sector page, then pick your team size below to begin. Because the specialist who calls already has your answers, the 15-minute call stays on your tools and what to exclude.
